Official Images: Transformers: Age of Extinction Platinum Edition Optimus Prime & Grimlock Set

well that explains why there arent any paint apps, gives them the excuse to make "platinum" editions and charge even more. I bet its also a TRU exclusive & will be $50 or $60.

Chrome on exhaust canisters on legs? Nope.

Chrome on grill? Nope.

This makes that Prime mold almost not look like total crap ... Almost.

That should be #15 of 30 in the Thrilling 30's after First Edition Optimus Prime, #14 of 30. And considering Voyagers cost like $25 these days, $50 for the two together isn't such a bad deal.

Can you please provide a source for where these pictures came from? We have to provide appropriate credit. Once you provide the source of these images, we'll update the news story accordingly. Sorry this was overlooked. Thanks.

The Platinum series is a TRU exclusive... Mostly.

I really don't understand where their head is at with this chrome. If you look at Prime's robot mode, what are supposed to be his smoke stacks are RED! Not even the same grey they are in truck mode. I don't mind the "cheat" like some might, but at least give a good illusion. Platinum is supposed to be for "the adult collector" and apparently all we want is random chrome on the regular retail stuff? Also, Grimmy's horns are way too big, they look more like bunny ears.

Seems they tried to simulate a punch by superimposing 2 different pics together, but the resulting box art looks more like Op gently elbowing Grimmy to get his attention away from whatever's on his left.

I decided to start just enjoying the movies while buying only a few non-Cyberverse toys back with ROTF, and while new Dinobots were destined to be exceptions to that rule, I'm going to be at a loss as to which Grimlock I want until I actually see them in store. So far the only stuff I definitely want is the Evolution packs and Construct-Bots Dino-armor guys (IDR if they had a proper name); 3 months ago, I never would've believed I'd be saying that.

As for the chrome, my collection's suffered enough Transmetal nightmares over the last 8 years or so that I'd just as soon see it all replaced by shiny paint apps. I'll be in the camp waiting for this set to clearance, if I bother with it at all.

The faceplate is what interests me most about this. Otherwise, the chrome application is poorly thought out and Grimlock is a missed opportunity to do a G1-esque deco. If anything this just gives me hope for a Takara version with better paint apps and a faceplate.
